Bananas.org - View Single Post - I built some PVC supports for my Ice Cream naners this weekend

Photos are in my photo album.

It was a whole lot easier than I had imagined. I made it out of 1-1/2" PVC. My wife had the great idea to spray paint them a very flat camo-green, and to also use a brown faux spray paint to help hide the grey cinderblocks. She also suggested putting caps on the tops (so wasps and other things can't get inside). If anyone needs any technical advice on this, please let me know.

So, for those that have grown this banana before, am I looking at not taking them off the tree until about 4 more months have passed?

Regardless, we're having a blast watching them develop.
